CHURN.

SECIEICATION forming peut of Letters Patent No. 327,620, dated October 6, 1885.

Application Filed May 17, 1884.

To all whom it may concern;

Beit known that I, HORACE H. Tnn'rnn, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Carbondale, in the county of Jackson and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Dashers for Churns and other like Machines, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to the peculiar construction of the wire dasher or beater of a churn or other like machine; and it consists in forming the wings or paddles of the beater of overlapping volutes or spirals of wire, the entire set of wings being preferably and usually made from one piece of wire. In order to prevent the wire from rusting, I usually make the dasher or beater and then tin the wire in a well-known way, whereby every part ofthe wire will be coated with a nonoXidizable covering of the tin.

In the drawings I have shown my improved dasher or beater as applied to a churn, the dasher being mounted rotatively on the cover of the churn.

ln the said drawings, Figure l is a vertical midsection of a churn provided with my iinprovements, the dasher or beater itself being in elevation. Fig. 2 is a horizontal or transverse section of my improved dasher or beater.

Let A represent a churn-say ol' some ceramic material-provided with a wooden cover, B, which is held firmly in place by screw-rods a, which connect said cover with a wooden base, C, and which have suitable nuts b.

D is a metal bed-plate, secured on the cover B, and provided with standards c c', in which are rotatively mounted a shat't, E, provided with a crank, F. On shaft E is iixed a bevel gear-wheel, G, which lneshes with a bevelpinion, H, fixed on the upper end of the dasher or beater stock I. This pinion H has a long boss which provides the vertical dasherstock with a rotative bearing in the bed-plate D; and in order to provide a still better bearing for the stock its upper end may have, as shown, a second bearing in a projection, el, on the upright c.

Rotation of the crank imparts a rapid ro- ScrialNo.131,S03. (No model.)

tary motion to the dasher-stock. The dasher is wholly suspended from the cover, and may be iitted to any ordinary churn, the bearing usually employed for the foot ot' the dasherstock being omitted.

J J represent the wire wings of the dasher or beater. There may be any desired number of these, but I have shown four in the drawings. These wings are composed ot' overlapping volutes or spirals of wire, and are formed by iirst boring small holes in the flasher-stock at suitable intervals or distances apart, and at right angles, where four wings are employed, and then drawing the wire through these holes. In inserting the wire I usually form one spiral or volute, half of which appears on each side of the stock, then pass the wire through the proper hole at right angles to the spiral already formed and form a second spiral at right angles to the first. Then I proceed to form a spiral which overlaps the first, and next a spiral which overlaps the second, proceeding in this manner until all the spirals are formed with one piece of wire. This is advantageous where iron wire is employed, as will usually be the case, as the wire is most apt to rust at the ends.

Such a dasher-wing is easily and cheaply constructed, and by the overlapping of the spirals, as described, the wings are strengthcned and a suitable reticulated surface is formed that is well adapted to churns and beaters of all kinds. These reticulated wings have their meshes iinest and with most acute crossing angles near the outer edges and in the middle portion, where their action is most etiective. I am not aware of any other construction which produces so good results in so simple a way.

My improved dasher is well adapted to all machines where liquids are to be whipped or beaten up.

I do not broadly claim a dasher made from ohurns, egg-beaters, and similar machines; but what I do claim is- An improved dasher or beater for churns and other similar machines, constructed with a stock, I, having perforations through it at wire, as these have been before proposed for ICO suitable distances apart, as described, and In witness whereof I have hereunto signed with Wings J J, formed. of wire passed may name in the presence of two subscribing through the holes in the stock, each Wing Witnesses.
